他说他将去北方度假。
The astronaut was sixtyeight.In two years he would be seventy.这位宇航员68岁,再过两年就70岁了。
2.常可表示过去习惯性的动作(不管什么人称,都用would)。
Whenever he had time,he would help villagers with their work.过去他一有时间就帮村民们干活。
(二)过去将来时的构成(以动词do为例)
1.基本表达方式:would do
He hoped the concert would have a lovely and relaxing atmosphere.他希望那场音乐会的气氛将会轻松而愉快。
2.过去将来时的其他几种表达方式:
(1)was/were going to do,这种表达方式表示准备、计划做某事。
She said she was going to reserve two tickets in advance.她说她打算提前订两张票。
(2)was/were about to do,这种表达方式表示即将发生的动作,不和表示时间段的状语连用。
Please hold the handle.The bus was about to start.
请抓好把手,公共汽车马上就要开了。
(3)was/were to do,这种表达方式表示过去曾计划或安排要做某事。
He said he was to arrange his holiday with his elder brother in a week.
他说一周后他将安排和他哥哥的假期。
(4)was/were doing,这种表达方式仅限于某些表示位移的动词,如come,go,arrive,leave等,表示按计划或安排将要发生的事。
I didn't know when they were coming to explore for oil again.我不知道他们什么时候再来勘探石油。
(5)用某些动词的过去式表示按计划或时刻表将要发生的事。
They told me school began on September 1st.
他们告诉我9月1日开学。
【辨析比较】
was/were(about)to do结构与was/were going to do 结构的区别:
was/were to do侧重被别人安排要做;was/were about to do表示说话的瞬间就会发生的动作,一般不与表示将来的时间状语连用;was/were going to do侧重说话人的意图或打算。
The scientist was to convince the local villagers of the strange creature's real existence.
这位科学家将会让当地村民们相信那一奇怪的生物确实存在。
I felt something terrible was about to happen.
我觉得有可怕的事要发生了。

A.has been B.had been
C.was going to be D.was
解析 句意:阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦出生在1879年。当他还是个孩子时,很少有人猜到他会成为一位著名的科学家,他的理论会改变这个世界。由动词“guessed”以及之后的“would change”可知,此处表示的是从过去某一时刻看将来要发生的动作或存在的状态,所以用过去将来时。故选C。
答案 C
13.完成句子
Even though he often felt he (将会被发现) to be a notalent,he moved forward,gaining a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse and making his first television appearance a few years later in 1948.
解析 句意:即使他经常觉得自己将会被发现没有天赋,但他持续前进,获得了邻里剧院学校的奖学金,并在几年后的1948年首次在电视上露面。结合句意及空前的felt可知,空处表示从过去某一时间看将要发生的动作,故应用过去将来时;又因主语he与discover/find之间为被动关系,故用过去将来时的被动语态。此处表示单纯的将来,故填would be discovered/found。
答案 would be discovered/found。
7.单句语法填空
①Whenever he had time, he would help(help) them with their work.
②I was thinking things over in my mind: What would be(be) their reaction? Would they support the idea?

如何写好英文戏剧剧本
戏剧是文学体裁的一种,其基本要素包括戏剧冲突和戏剧语言。戏剧剧本属于记叙文。在写作形式上以对话为主,应主要包括戏剧人物、人物的语言、舞台说明性文字等。
写好英语戏剧剧本,应该注意以下几点:
1.确定剧情、故事梗概及主题;
2.确定剧中人物及其形象和性格特征(喜、怒、哀、乐、害羞、友好、慷慨、吝啬、恐惧以及勇敢等);
3.确定故事发生的时间、地点、场景;
4.构思戏剧的矛盾冲突,事件的起因、发展、高潮、结局等。
请你根据本单元所学的内容写一个小剧本,表现Henry带着这张百万英镑支票来到一家理发店理发,他与店主和其他客人之间发生的矛盾冲突。
注意:1.交代清楚人物、地点和时间等;
2.注意故事情节的发展、冲突和结尾。
本题要求写一个英语剧本,该剧本应包括台词和舞台说明。首先,台词应符合剧中人物的性格特点和身份地位,故事中角色之间的冲突和角色内心的冲突等主要是通过台词、动作和表情来呈现的。其次,舞台说明应介绍剧中人物及背景,包括剧情发生的时间、地点、服装、道具、布景以及人物的表情、动作和上、下场等指示说明。
舞台说明通常用一般现在时态。剧本的时态也多为一般现在时态。
Narrator: (Henry is smiling as he leaves the restaurant.When he is walking down the street,he sees a sign for a place that cuts hair.He decides to get it cut.)
H=Henry; B=Barber; R=the rude man
H: Good afternoon,I'd like to get a cut,if I may.(The barber looks at Henry's hair and continues cutting another man's hair.) Er,I'd really like a haircut.As you can see it's much too long.
B: (in a rude manner) Yes,I can see that.Indeed,I can.
H: Fine,well,I'll have a seat then.
(He sits in one of the barber's chairs.The barber turns to look at Henry.)
B: It's quite expensive here,you know! Are you sure you can afford it?
H: Yes.I think so.
(In comes the rude man.)
R: Hey you there.I need a haircut quickly.Can you do me straightaway?
B: All right,then,get in the chair and I'll see what I can do.
R: Thank you. (sits down in one of the barber's chairs)
H: Excuse me,but I was here first.Aren't you going to do my hair first?
B: This man's in a hurry.
H: Well,so am I! I insist that you cut my hair first.
B: OK,but I'll have to be quick.This gentleman is waiting.
H: Thank you.
(They both become quiet.After his hair is cut,the barber tells Henry how much he must pay.Henry shows the barber the bank note.)
B: Why,Mr ...(looks shocked)
H: Adams.Henry Adams.I'm sorry,I don't have any change.
R: You're that Mr Adams! Well,I'm glad I waited or I might never have known it was you.
B: Why,Mr Adams,please don't worry! (wearing a big smile) Nothing to worry about! Nothing at all! Please come back any time,even if you only need too little hairs cut! It will be my honour to serve you!
1.范文主题明确,细节处理恰当,清楚地表达了“有钱能使鬼推磨”的思想和主题。
2.舞台说明对剧中人物的表情和动作等指示说明清晰、明了,有助于表演和推动情节的进一步发展。
3.人物台词符合剧中人物的性格特征和身份地位,比如理发师初见Henry时说的“Yes,I can see that.Indeed,I can.”和最后说的“Why,Mr Adams,please don't worry!Nothing to worry about!Nothing at all!Please come back any time,even if you only need too little hairs cut!It will be my honour to serve you!”形成鲜明的对比。
